@ruru, 1273 - you don't have to be voting me right now, but I feel like you're scumreading me but not trying to actually do anything about it. I don't know how to explain that better. Like you scumread me. You think that there's scum on the wagon. I was on the wagon. You didn't follow up on my vote today. It feels off to me. Like to me the logical place for you to look for scum on the wagon would be me given that you're already scumreading me, but you weren't really pursuing that angle until I started bringing it up.
Which vote was the parenthesis in 1178 referring to? Your vote on me at deadline? Or your vote on drixx way earlier in the phase?
I don't understand your last line. I'm explaining that I don't think team-reading is super helpful right now without a scumflip first.- Oxy

Okay how about we compromise because spending more energy on ruru right now seems neither fun, nor productive from my PoV. We also disagree on Sajj. Right now she's pretty high in my lynch pool and in the poe scum teams of others, but you've been strongly town reading her all game. Why don't you show why lynching Sajj would be a mislynch? Solving that slot would go a long way to solving this game from my pov.- Assemblerotws

Yes! 217 and the surrounding posts pinged me at the time. I also remember posts such as 306, 313, 325 as being odd because at the time her most recent read said that she wasn't scum reading me. However, upon reread, I think they make more sense in the context of her vote on me in 363... Maybe.
You can add this one to the understanding Drixx bit, which I remember thinking was just opportunistic latching on to another slot's reads.
On another note, I'm having an easier time understanding Sajj's individual lines of thought this time around. As a result of this, I'm a little less bewildered by skitter30 saying things like, (paraphrased) "I understand Sajj's thinking most of the time."In post 438, Scioness Sajj wrote:I had no problem following Drixx's thoughts in 254 and I think Oxy took it out of the context/misread it and ofrhz panicked? I didn't like his reaction to the posts connecting him with Oxy (on which he has a townlean/townread? i'm not sure) and he went with some posts that were putting you in the spotlight (pin had his scum pool {you, oxy, ofrhz}) and he quoted 268 yet he didn't really find a reason to interact with you all this time? Seems like distracting in a way 'look at her she is scummy, not at me'.
I will add more on this when I will get to catching up and answering things from last night.- Oxy

Also, @everyone:
Dino was scum reading Sajj more than anything. It would be crazy not to consider this slot for today's lynch.
A lot of the scum pairings that I am currently considering involve Sajj, so town reading her would be as valuable as scum reading her.
We should put the effort in to sort this slot first today.- Oxy

But then the two bolded parts of this post seem odd together:
And with 240 being what it is, I don't even know how to begin evaluating Sajj borrowing the Ofrhz + Ozie talking point.In post 447, Scioness Sajj wrote:3. 255 you mention two post, one from the beginning of the game and the other most current.I feel like if you genuinely didn't know what he was referring to you'd just ask which post it was. I agree that Drixx's post was vague, so if you really didn't understand what he was referring to it seems more naturally to me to just ask generic question instead of giving two examples.
You are towny on your own and on their own those things above are pretty much nai, can be just your playstyle, but when I connect them with agendas Oxy's pushing then it looks like teamplay. Solving Oxy would make it easier for me to read you and all other slots in general.

Interesting. Would you like to take a stab at explaining what Drixx might have meant in that post?
I’ll wait for the rest of your thoughts before addressing itI take that back, Drixx's post is a lot more confusing than I remember it. I understand that the post is 240 and someone that pointed it out is Pin.
In post 240, pinturicchio wrote:Ok guys its really late here in Chile and I tried to read everything but somewhere in between became really difficult, and I already convinced myself that Oxy is scum and that his partner is either ruru or ofrhz because of the early towncred to both. A lot of scum motivation there, gives free credit to his partner by giving credit to two players instead of one. The towncred he gives to both is so random I really can't see any other explanation. Also his 1v1 with Scioness seems like building the first mislynch of the game, and he's doing quite good, but nah, you're scum.

OK, but from my POV, I'm still trying to sort ruru and trying to understand why you're townreading her would help me with that.In post 1276, Oxy wrote:Okay how about we compromise because spending more energy on ruru right now seems neither fun, nor productive from my PoV.

Why don't you show why lynching Sajj would be a mislynch? Solving that slot would go a long way to solving this game from my pov.
Posts like these are why I think you're a potential ruru partner cuz I'm trying to get you to talk about your townread on her, and I feel like you're deflecting away from that, and you've been doing that since very early on (ie like on page2 you locktowned her and I couldn't get you to explain to me why you wouldn't re-evaluate your locktown reads on ofrzh and ruru from super early-day1).
Like I'm cool with also talking about sajj, but I don't want to turn convo away from ruru altogether cuz she's my best pick for scum atm.
I don't know if it's accurate to say I'm strongly townreading sajj so much as I don't really scum-read her. Her thought processes make a lot of sense to me, and she doesn't feel fabricated to me. I don't find any of the reasons to scumread her to be particularly compelling. (for example, people are saying she's scummy for not voting me just before deadline, but like, her progression and thought process makes sense given the context - she thought it was better to vote a VT soft over running up a possible PR given the deadline, but was townreading me. ie she thought it was mechanically probably a good idea but didn't actually want to. Like her progression there makes sense.)
-----
Whereas this doesn't make much sense to me. You're looking for scum on the wagon and you think I'm scum and I was on the wagon but you didn't talk to me about it. I find that weird.In post 1278, ruru wrote:This is like a whole lot of weird vague assumptions, I don't even know
Ok, I thought you were talking about your vote on me at deadline. Since you apparently weren't, let's talk about that now - why'd you take so long to vote me?In post 1278, ruru wrote:Drixx and to some extent eth0s/NSG
I mean, it's a general philosophy I have for scumhunting. Associatives are useful, but I've found that if I put stock on that *over* indivdiual scumminess, I tend to get seriously off-track and have gotten screwed over more than once by following associatves over individual-scumminess; it's happened to me more than once that I voted on associatives over individual scumminess and, like, the associative-based read was wrong and the individual-scumminess based read was right. So, like, I'm trying to learn from these mistakes and like not do that.In post 1278, ruru wrote:But you gave no explanation for why it should be ignored (doesn't fit your narrative?)
And like, scum know all the answers and they can manipulate associatives to mess with you. (in the spoiler. Scumteam was seph/implosion. Implosion fucked with the associatives on purpose *a lot* to make people view the game as either seph/flubber or wave/implosion, and while I was never going to believe seph/flubber, the wave/implosion narrative made *a lot* of sense and that's what lost the game ultimately.)

@skitter - I'm willing to talk about ruru a bit more. I think I may be of some help here, because I went down some sort of ruru rabbit hole in D1, and I'd like to think I got out of it. More in spoiler if you're interested.
ruru-Spoiler:
I really want to talk about Scioness though. I think you're giving her the benefit of the doubt where you have no reason to, like answering for Scioness about the possible PR fishing question. I think Oxy and ruru are hitting the right notes, but I'll try to boil down my thoughts about Scioness in another post.
Also, what do you think of the Drixx lynch? Scum or town motivated?- Scioness Sajj

@skitter30 I understand your concern about me deflecting. I've reevaluated ruru a few times - the most recent time was this last night phase.
I don't think it's a productive place to put our energy right now.
I think Ofrhz has a a pretty solid read on ruru, especially considering he recently town read her by poe.
I think the quotes I gave to mathdino earlier (below) look even townier in the passive playstyle narrative that Ofrhz just described.
What is the scum motivation for picking such an inconspicuous thing to fake?
In post 890, Oxy wrote:Townie Ruru posts
The thought processes and frustrations only make sense coming from town who is accustomed to a different meta, and seems like a really oddball style to go for as scum.

1. Nah, nothing to do with playstyle. And no I don't enjoy walls.In post 1230, ofrhz wrote:
1. I usually question the person I'm voting for, which I did with ruru. The thing with ruru was, her D1 answers were always in the realm of "believable but iffy." But I shouldn't have to give a 5 paragraph essay with quotes on why I think ruru is scum, because I personally find those hard to read. I know you like to vote someone and write a convincing case on someone and that's fine, but I don't play like that. I feel like most of this is you being like "omg ofrhz has a different playstyle than me."In post 1219, Scioness Sajj wrote:You are implying here that you wanted people to scumread ruru with you but you never made a case on her or tried to convince people to vote ruru.
Also - why were you upset that my case on ruru went in so late when you have already said you stopped scumleaning on her? 778 you have unvoted ruru for a reason stated below skitter's quote or no reason given at all. 895 you said you are townleaning her.
2. I was annoyed because wagons can't form if we jump on and off; not only does ruru not feel much pressure, but other people pay attention to other things like NSG who had three(?) votes on her at the same time.
3. I unvoted ruru because I didn't think there was going to be any pressure on her and wanted town to focus on something. I was basically nullreading ruru because I was unsure at 895. She had answered my questions and yours by that point.
I'm speaking of that time early in the game when you had vote on ruru parked there for a few days without engaging her. You had a little back and forth with her earlier, she unvoted you but you just kept your vote her without engaging her. We have talked about it.
I never said you have had to make a big case, two sentences on why you think she is scum and a vote would be fine. You just poked her for a moment and unvoted because you weren't scumreading her anymore so.
2. So you voted Ruru for pressure?
3. There were two wagons at that of you unvoting ruru then you disappeared. What did you want town to focus on and why didn't you do anything to help town focusing on said something?
There is a difference between Mathdino having a townread on NSG when he probably has read every game she has ever played just because he wants to be that good at reading her. (Add to it that I have played with NSG before, if I am to be confident in any of my reads this game I bet on NSG beng town).In post 1234, ofrhz wrote:- Oxy - Scioness is willing to sheep Mathdino on NSG but not willing to sheep Mathdino's most confident town read? ..........??? I'm not even going to entertain this because I was independently townreading Oxy before Mathdino even showed up to the game.
And Mathdino reading people of some scraps of this thread and having a conf-town on Oxy because of townslip especially when he is wrong about me. Beside, the obvious one good read =/= all good reads.
That's some really early survivalism and makes really little sense.In post 1234, ofrhz wrote:- me - This is Scioness's most plausible ruru scumteam. The best thing I can do here is to try to convince her that I'm town. But if Scioness is scum and she wants to push through a ruru lynch, she's probably going to have to scum read me no matter what. So really I'm just going to be defending myself for everyone else in the game.
You have, somehow, figure out that you and ruru is the best possible team from my poe, that's fine. Then you make assumptions that, in my eyes you are both scum, I will still push for lynch on independently of ruru's flip?
Like I don't know, do you know that ruru is scum? Do you think I'm bussing ruru to kill you? ??????
Why are you so scared of me suddenly? Do you think I have a power to force two mislynches?
Basic deduction would be that I didn't exclude anybody but two people I feel somewhat confident that they can't be in a teams with her. Unless disagreeing with you == scum.In post 1243, ofrhz wrote:@scioness- That’s just basic deduction. Like do you still think ruru and skitter are a thing? They were slinging mud at each other just now. And this is all staged you say?
Yeah, they just started again, I will see where it goes and update my poe if needed. I have written down my poe before they engaged today so why are you even talking about it, lol.
Did you really? If you thought asking was suspicious why didn't you engage me or add it to the reason you were voting me for?In post 1248, ofrhz wrote:I do think Scioness asking me who the nk should have been was scummy. It was indirectly asking me who I thought the PRs were.
Nope, it was face value question. I have asked because I wasn't really surprised to see him dead, he did shake up the game in a way that the scum team wouldn't be happy with. Do you really think I would think that you know who prs are?- Oxy

@sajj
I'm reevaluating. I think sorting you is very important to the game.
I don't agree that Ofrhz was making the assumptions that Scioness implies towards the end, but I do think she may be on to something with the bolded.In post 1290, Scioness Sajj wrote:In post 1234, ofrhz wrote:

Like here. I don't get how you think I could be scared of you when yesterday you were literally like "don't engage me rn." Weird overreaction. Possibly projecting.In post 1290, Scioness Sajj wrote:Like I don't know, do you know that ruru is scum? Do you think I'm bussing ruru to kill you? ??????
